SoCal company recalls Liquimax vitamins
Bottles of Liquimax Complete Nutrition Multivitamin Formula are being recalled because they may contain fish, tree nuts or wheat that can cause serious or life-threatening reactions in people allergic to them, ...

I love these vitamins. I think the consumer should be given the opportunity to continue to use them knowing the possibility of an allergic reaction. I am not allergic to tree nuts etc so I would be Ok.
Just a thought. Will they put it back after they remake it??? Thank you |

I concur with Mary. We love our Vitaimix!

I have been taking Liquimax for years now. They are the only vitamins that I can digest. I now cannot get them and am running out of my spare bottle. It is a shame that this product is being taken off the market. Put a warning on the label and let us decide if it is or isn't for us.
I work with children who are not tolerant of gluten or casein products and are allergic to lots of foods but that does not mean I don't eat these foods. Reminds me of my mother's story about if everyone jumps off the bridge, will you jump too? Do you have to take it off the market because some people shouldn't take it due to their special diets? |

I called the 800# on the Liquimax bottle and the rep I spoke with took down my address so they can notifiy me if / when they start selling it again. Sorry, I don't have the empty bottle any more so I can't give the 800# to you.
I went to a health food store and bought a liquid vitamin (@ more than twice the cost) and had to return it... it tasted AWEFUL! |

The 800# is 1-800-533-8482 These are the only vitamins I can take without any problems. I just hope they put it back on the market.

this is what the company told me:
The tentative time frame that is scheduled for the product to return is September and at Costco stores only. We do not have an alternative product as this was our only unique liquid multivitamin formula. Once again we apologize for the inconvenience. |

This is the first vitamin formula my 14 year old son has been willing to take - and he was so pleased with how he felt that he took it every day without being reminded. That's when I started taking it and buying it for my friends.
With informative labeling, no one will be hurt, and many can be helped a great deal by this product. |

I agree - how long can it take to put a warning label on the bottle. I have tried many different types of vitamin supplements over the years and have never found anything that was as complete and that my body actually didn't reject. Since i started taking LiquiMax, I had not gotten sick; not once. Since I stopped due to this recall, I have noticed my energy levels drop and my skin, hair and over-all health are visibly not as good as when I was taking LiquiMax. Please bring it back soon!!

I agree with everyone whole heartedly! I would faithfully take every morning my liquimax in what I call my "Zip Fizz Cocktail". 1 oz liquimax, 1 oz hoodia, & 2 oz zip fizz.(all from Costco) It was great! I was so bummed when I couldn't get it anymore. I hope they do bring it back. Best vitamins by far!

I can't believe that they recalled this. I just started taking this about 7 months ago and it is the only "thing" that I can find that prevents me from getting mouth ulcers and if I do get it (if I forget to take my vitamins) immediately it starts to heal them and they only last like 2 days. The amino acids in the vitamin is what helps. I agree with the lady above, I purchased the Liquilife and it does taste bad. I can't even take it. Of course when I find something that I like it disappears! PLEASE BRING IT BACK SOON!

Bring it back. I find it is not only a great supply of vitamins, minerals and amino acids for the body but it helps my mind and clarity of thought. I would take it every day as well. Where can we get the recalled bottles. I would buy a few cases without blinking.

Bring it back, where can you get it and when

Ditto to most of the comments above!!!
I just started searching for this, my favorite vitamin supplement and discovered this site. No one at Costco told me why they stopped carrying it! I love this product! It is a vitamin supplement that really makes a difference in my health and energy and I actually really like the taste! I used it for over two years and if it were a problem for me, it would have been apparent immediately! I am very allergic to various things and this product never gave me any adverse reaction ever!! To the contrary, it made me feel so much better!! Healthier over all and better energy!!! I want it back!!!!!! What is the problem? It was VERY good for me! I really want to continue using LiquiMax and don't know where to find it. |

Additional comment:
I can also say that when taking LiquiMax I was virtually never sick! Only minor issues that would occur if I forgot to take LiquiMax for a couple days. As soon as I took it again, I was 'miraculously' better right away!

Well, it never fails! The internet that is. I was wondering why this was not on the shelf at costco. I hope to find it there again in September. I have become dependent on it. Best vitamin for me, best taste and for the lowest price. Even better it does exclude several ingredients some people have problems with.

I have a problem digesting vitamins in tablet form. I was thrilled to discover Liquimax at Costco several years ago. I haven't found anything else that is as complete and tastes as good. Please HURRY and BRING IT BACK!

This board is amazing because it dittos my sentiments. I had been taking LiquiMax for over 3 years. I felt absolutely terrific, high energy and honestly never got anything more than a mild cold as well. Costco stopped carrying it and for the last 2 months I find that I don't feel as well and my energy level in the afternoons is half of what it was. The funny thing is that I only put 2 and 2 together today, which is how I came upon this board during my research to find this product again. It suddenly occured to me that the way I was feeling was because I had to stop taking LiquiMax. Thanks to all who posted with the same "symptoms" and the hopeful news that this product will soon re-appear at Costco.

I validate everything said on this board.
I had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and due to this product am living a normal healthy lifestyle with the hope of returning to my previous athletic activities. What a shame that there was not a better way to protec those who are allergic to some foods and to provide the product to the people that benefit from it..........Please try and find a way to bring it back to those who need it.......... |
